TNR can Help Stray Street Animals Everywhere. In the US….

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is practiced in many cities in the US, including my hometown by the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. TNR is a process where caregivers who are feeding street cats trap them in humane traps. They then take them to a spay/neuter program and after recovery, return the cats to where they are feeding them. Adoptable cats and kittens are placed in homes whenever possible.

The goal of the program is to reduce suffering for existing street cats and prevent the births and suffering of future generations.

TNR teaches compassion and responsible cat care. While TNR actually reduces the number of cats breeding, it also opens the door to educating people about the importance of spaying and the plight of feral and stray cats. Trapping and killing teaches young and old that it is okay to create unwanted offspring and then kill the surplus - leaving no room for education or compassion for life.
TNR is the compassionate approach to feral (wild) and stray cat overpopulation.

The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon is a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program for feral and stray cats living in Oregon. The goal of the program is to reduce suffering for existing feral cats and prevent the births and suffering of future generations. The program's services are targeted for feral and outdoor stray cats who have caregivers feeding them. The caregivers trap the cats, bring them to a clinic, and return the cats to where they are being fed with a commitment to feed the cat(s) on a permanent basis.

FCCO is the first statewide mobile spay/neuter program exclusively caring for feral cats in North America and one of the strongest feral cat programs in the country. Founded in 1995, FCCO will spay/neuter 6,000 cats this year and has altered over 75,000 cats since it began 20 years ago. An average of 100 cats are neutered on each clinic day.

In addition to being spayed or neutered, each cat who participates in the program receives FVRCP (distemper) and rabies vaccines and topical flea prevention; is treated for ear mites and other minor medical conditions; and has his or her right ear tipped (see photo at left) for future identification.

Today we have a 24-foot mobile hospital, designed specifically for spaying/neutering feral cats, with three separate rooms: a surgery suite with room for three veterinarians to operate simultaneously; a prep area, complete with sink and autoclave; and also an anesthesia room. Services provided cats on the truck are the same as at our clinic.
It began when one doctor had a dream 20 years ago

People sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder what difference they can really make in a world of suffering. In a world where knowledge is power, I hope this talk has inspired you and provided you with knowledge, strategies and examples of the power of YOU to make a difference!

An old man was strolling along a beach one day. In the distance he saw a young boy and girl reach down, pick something up and throw it back into the sea. Drawing nearer, he saw that the sand was littered with thousands of small stranded sand dollars. The children were patiently picking them up, one at a time, and returning them to safety below the water. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Saving sand dollars," replied the children as they continued about the job at hand. "But the beach is littered with dying sand dollars. What possible difference can you make by doing this?”The young girl bent over, picked up another, and threw it back in the water with all her might. Then, turning to the old man, she said with all the wisdom of a child:
"I made a difference for that one."

Attention Creates Change
The first official TNR community project in Nanjing will be conducted this month at Lingu Temple where a few cats were sterilized last year. Approximately 25-30 cats are cared for by the temple monks. One elderly monk at the entrance to the temple feeds around 15 cats faithfully every morning and evening. Others lounge blissfully and safe inside the temple grounds. The temple has posted four large notices that address the kind treatment of the temple cats, and all animals, and the promotion of TNR as a humane alternative to killing other beings.
